Abstract

A

The problem of a plane wave incident on a non‐isotropic dipping layer lying over an isotropic conducting substratum has been studied and some numerical results are presented to show the effects of

  • 1)   degree of anisotropy ,
  • 2)   conductivity contrast between the substratum to the upper layer ,
  • 3)   angle of inclination of the axis of anisotropy α,

on the variation of amplitude and phase difference of the wave impedance with the normalized skin‐depth ().
